Body#link relates to an HTML attribute rather than a tag

Meta -

Nerodia Version: 0.9.0

Expected Behavior -

Invoking methods on body works just as with other elements.

Actual Behavior -

Invoking methods on body doesn't work. It fails with TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Steps to reproduce -

from nerodia import browser
br = browser.Browser()
br.goto("http://example.com")
br.body().link(text="More information...").click()

After looking into this, body() is working fine. The link call is returning a string because link is a valid attribute for body. So it is returning the attribute before looking for an a within the body. Is there a reason you're getting body first?

This is currently the same behavior as Watir so I'll have to talk with them to see how to proceed

[abotalov]

There's no good reason, actually. I was only experimenting. Found it strange that it doesn't work.

[lmtierney]

To explain it better... Each element has a set of valid attributes, which are listed in https://github.com/watir/watir/blob/master/lib/watir/elements/html_elements.rb

Basically, since link is a valid attribute for body, it just returns the attribute since it thinks that is what you want.

Yeah, Watir needs to add it to this method: https://github.com/watir/watir/blob/master/lib/watir/generator/html/generator.rb#L18-L20

This will fix it: watir/watir@fecf8cb
As soon as we do: watir/watir#705

@lmtierney the code has been updated in Watir

This should now be fixed via 4bdca07 released in0.11.0
